Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years in software engineering with at least 5+ years in cloud architecture or solution architecture.
• Expertise in cloud-native application development on a major cloud platform: GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Strong proficiency in Node, Angular, C#, and Python.
• Experience designing and scaling microservices, APIs, serverless, and containerized workloads (GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda).

• Proven experience engaging with business and client stakeholders at multiple levels.
• Exceptional ability to communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
